Six insurgents detained in Baghdad, nine under arrest in Basra
2005-10-23
The Iraqi army arrested Saturday a half a dozen of Iraqi insurgents and seized a booby trapped car in Ramadi in the western side of the country in a couple of military operations, said a statement issued by the Iraqi Defense Ministry. The ministry said the six gunmen were detained after a confrontation in Jaffa street in Baghdad's heart. The detainees were involved in "several crimes targeting Iraqi civilians and the army and police forces," said the ministry, adding that two Iraqi soldiers were wounded in the clash.

In the meantime, Iraqi soldiers seized and eliminated a booby trapped car in Grand Ramadi of the western Anbar governorate, said the ministry. In Basra, US-led forces stormed residential areas in the northern part of the southern city, said a statement by the forces. The forces seized explosives, heavy arms, and arrested nine suspects there, said the statement.
